Billy - could you start to feel the aero limitations of the car at that speed? I would think you would, but??????

Yes Brandon, I definitely could tell I was driving a brick through the air. The car would benefit from some aero work and power if it was to go much faster.

Guys I was thinking about competing in the next event in Sebring, but do you think the stock brake setup would cut it?

I'll confirm the newbie part Greg, he tagged his first person on Facebook this weekend, me, and I wasn't even in the picture lol

We had such a great time, the adrenaline rush was amazing and continuous. If Billy is driving a brick, then I must be driving a cement block as I was only running just under 130..the car had a bit more, but the guy in control of it didn't. Maybe a few more track days would help with that.

I'm still loading pictures and videos and I'll put a link here when I'm done.
